Living in the Chicago area, I can assure you, the media here let's us hear a LOT of Obama speaking. While glib and well spoken, his rhetoric would no doubt get a standing "O" from the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Marx, Engels and Chairman Mao.
He is not a "pinko" liberal, he is a full fledged socialist, one world government advocate, poised just this side of a "people's revolution." There is nothing of his substance that reminds one of anything close to capitalism, the constitution or a free society as we traditionally think of it.
"Newspeak", comin' atcha - 22 years late.
In a fawning NPR interview, he stated that he dislikes money in campaigns and approves of taxpayer-funded campaigns.
Not only does he want us to hear about his liberal delusions,
he wants ME to pay for it! No thanks!
